Sixty sharpshooters will patrol the

Speakership Candidate
BACKS S. A. WHITAKER
TO RULE STATE HOUSE
A battle royal In state politics is nr
today with the knowledge that Governer
Sproul bus thrown Inte the discard
plans, for the re-election of Kebcrt S.
Spongier, of Yerk, as speaker of thi
State Heuse of Heprescntntlves.
The Governer's candidate for the)
speakership is Samuel A. Whltnker. of
Pheenixville. Chester county, a nephew
of Federal Judge J. Whlteker Thomp
son and 11 grnndncpliew of former Gov Gov
ereor Pennypacker.
Mr. Spant'ler. who is sponsored hy
Jeseph It. Grundy, president of the
Pennsylvania Manufacturers' Associa
tion, announced today at his home In;
Yerk thnt be "is in the fight te thu
finish."
The injection of Wliitaker's name
into the situation, with. Goorner
Sproul's backing, is believed te mean)
that the volcano of factionalism is in
full eruption.
It indicates definite line-ups of sidejj,
thnt will struggle for control of that
next Legislature, due te convene In
January, the Governer and Sonnter
Crew allied ngninst Mr. Grundy nnd
the powerful interests he represents in
the state.
Penrose Holds Key
Senater Penrose's virtual isolation
has had its effect en the situation. The
sonnter undoubtedly holds the key that
would unlock the deer of victory for
either of the contestunt.
The Governer's championship of Mr,
Whltnker indicates there will be no
compromise with the Grundy forces.
Politicians were wondering today
whether the Governer has had nn nu nu
thexitativc "tip" from Senater Pen
rose, who has denied himself te all
callers for two weeks or mere.
Reports that Mr. Spnngler wns pre
paring te efface himself in order te
avert open hostilities were denied by
the candidate.
"I mil u bona -fide candidate nnd nm
in the fight te a finish," Mr. Spnngler
declared today ever long-distance tele
phone. 1
He snid be had received no word from
Senater Penrose directly or indirectly.
Mr. Spnngler was speaker of the Iat
Heuse of Representatives.
Mr. Wliitaker, the oandidnte favored
by the Governer has been a member of
the General Assembly since 1015. ex
